PHOENIX, AZ–(Apr 7, 2017) – InnSuites Hospitality Trust (NYSE MKT: IHT) — 3rd annual InnDependent Lodging Executive Summit (“ILES”) has officially sold out its exhibitor spots and looks forward to a strong showing at this 2017 independent and boutique hotel conference in Las Vegas. Registration is in full-swing at www.iles.vegas and will be held on May 15-17, 2017 at the Hard Rock Las Vegas hotel. This three-day idea exchange will include strong educational sessions focused on the changing hospitality industry and includes soft brand and indie segments.

InnSuites Hospitality Trust (“IHT”) Hotel property revenues for the first two months of the current fiscal year are up 15% from the same two months of the prior fiscal year. IHT anticipates increased hotel room revenues to continue throughout the fiscal year ending January 31, 2018 based on trends and a nearly complete $6 million hotel refurbishment.

In February 2017, IHT submitted its Equity Enhancement Plan (“Plan”) to the NYSE which addressed how it intends to regain compliance with the NYSE MKT’s continued listing standards within the Plan Period which was accepted on March 31, 2017 with a Plan Period thru January 19, 2018. Elements of the compliance plan may include the sale of one or more of its assets. Management believes IHT hotels have a much lower book value than their market value, sale of additional IHT stock at market value, sale of minority interest in specific hotel properties and/or anticipated continuation of the current operational upward current trends in hotel gross operating profits. As part of the Plan, IBC Hotels Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of IHT, plans to explore financial and strategic options for the subsidiary and has hired Viant Capital, an investment banker, to assist. IHT continues to monitor its stockholders’ equity and is reviewing potential actions that can and are being taken to increase its stockholders’ equity and to maintain compliance with the NYSE MKT’s listing standards.
